If you are a traveler and you want to enjoy a Costa Rica vacation with sheer unadulterated luxury, then you have to know what the country has to offer. As with most vacation destinations, Costa Rica has a lot, since it knows how to treat tourists and have the greatest moment of there vacation. The City center itself, has many hidden treasures to visit such as the Costa Rican Art Museum, which is located in the city’s largest park known as Sabana Metropolitan Park. The Costa Rican Art Museum (MAC) is the main place to find anything pertaining to arts of Costa Rica, it gathers and exhibits works by national and international artists, stimulates artistic confrontation and critical thinking. The museum has more than six thousand works in its collection that includes painting, sculpture, photography and other works of arts, and some of the arts are from the mid-nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Visiting the museum is an enriching experience where you can discover works of great aesthetic and patrimonial value that reflect different times and artistic movements that have left a mark on Costa Rican art.
